I love dogs & treat them as family!

Pet care experience

I love animals, especially dogs! Caring for dogs has been a big part of my life for many decades. I'm very cheerful and engaging with pets and enjoy caring for them. If I have the opportunity to care for your precious loved one, they will look forward to spending time with me again. I have a 12 lb spayed female Chihuahua named Porkchop that is always by my side. She is shy at first but very playful once she warms up - Porkchop gets along great with other dogs. I own a house on a 1/3 acre lot with fenced back yard that backs up to a park with walking trails. I also live within 10 minutes of many parks in SW Charlotte including McDowell Nature Preserve, in case your dog likes car rides and nature hiking. I look forward to caring for your dog and being a trusted friend to your loved one while you are away. Dogs with special needs are welcome and will be very well cared for.

Jim and Pork Chop have become are go to pet sitters whenever we travel! We have senior dogs that require extra care and they are so well attended to! Can’t recommend enough!

Jim always takes the best care of Deacon and Scout! We already have him booked for our next trip! So thankful for him and the excellent care he takes of our fur babies!

This was our 2nd time using Jim and he takes the best care of our two pups and our fish! He sends updates and pictures every day. Our dogs are older and require meds and a bit of extra care and attention and Jim is just the very best! It gives us such a piece of mind while we are away to know they are being so well taken care of!
